Chapter 2 Chapter 2 BenQ Solar Module Specifications Chapter 2 Chapter 2 BenQ Solar Module Specifications BenQ Solar Module Specifications BenQ Solar Module Specifications The module electrical ratings are measured under Standard Test Conditions (STC) of 1000W/m2 irradiance with AM 1.5G spectrum and a cell temperature of 25ºC. BenQ Solar modules electrical characteristics depend on module Series and Wattage.
2.3 PM250M01 Series Module Dimensions (L x W x H): 1639 x 983 x 40 mm (64.52 x 38.7 x 1.57 in) Module Dimensions (L x W x H): Module Dimensions (L x W x H): Module Dimensions (L x W x H): Module Weight: Module Weight: 18.5 kg (41.1 lbs) Module Weight:...
2.6 Performance of PV Modules A PV module may produce more current and/or voltage than reported at STC. Sunny, cool weather and reflection from snow or water can increase current and power output. Therefore, the values of Isc and Voc shown below should be multiplied by a factor of 1.25 when determining component voltage ratings, conductor capacities, fuse sizes, and size of controls connected to PV output.
Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Mo Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Mounting unting unting unting Guidelines Guidelines Guidelines Guidelines Modules may be mounted at any angle from horizontal to vertical. Select the appropriate orientation to maximize sunlight exposure. A gap between the module and system structure or ground is required to prevent wire damage and to allow air to circulate behind the module.
3.2 Mounting with Clamps • The clamping clips on the side frame must be in parallel (see Figure 1). • Ensure the clamps are of sufficient design strength to allow for the maximum design pressure of the module. • Measurements of D1, D2, D3, and D4 below describe the centerline of the mounting clamp to the edge of the module frame.

4.3 System Grounding (Positive) PM318B00/PM318 PM318B00/ PM318B01 PM318B00/ PM318B00/ PM318 PM318 For optimal performance, BenQ Solar modules must only be used in configurations with galvanically insulated inverters where the positive (+) polarity of the PV array is connected to ground protected by a fuse. In addition, the module frame should be grounded.

BenQ Solar recommends the PV conductor, which cross section is 4 mm2. External connection boxes can be used to enable greater cable cross section area for long distance transmission. The modules are qualified for the application class A: Hazardous voltage (IEC 61730: higher than 50V;...
Chapter Chapter 5 5 5 5 Maintenance Chapter Chapter Maintenance Maintenance Maintenance Inspect all modules annually for safe electrical connections, sound mechanical connection, and corrosion. BenQ Solar PV module may use anti-reflective coating (ARC) glass to enhance power output. Do not to touch glass surface unless wearing clean gloves in order to prevent fingerprints or smudges on the ARC.
